Building collapses in Naples: family under rubble, two siblings aged 4 and 6 and their mother dead

Tragedy this morning in Saviano , in the Naples area , where a two-story building collapsed after an LPG cylinder exploded. The terrible toll, for now, is three dead, a 4-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother and their mother.

According to initial information, it appears that the explosion occurred on the second floor, in the home of an elderly person.

On the first floor a family of 5, husband, wife and three children, all ended up under the rubble. The father and one of the three children were pulled alive from the pile of concrete. Nothing to be done for the two little ones.

In the afternoon, rescuers managed to extract the mother's body in these minutes: the relatives recognized that she was the mother of the children and not the grandmother, as it had seemed at first when the

body was still stuck under the rubble.
